    How much do you exercise?

    I do 30 mins on the treadmil, then some toning with weights 3/4 times a week. I also go swimming when i can in the week and always on the weekend. I think you need to go at least 3 times a week to make a difference. 15 mins on each is fine though.build it up over times
